This hub will also grow to include a community forum for collaboration. kiara helps you adapt your effects and knowledge. AI bot coming soon!

Vision

kiara envisions a world where AR creation is accessible, collaborative, and fun. By making connections between platforms and creating tools tailored to the needs of creators, kiara aims to foster a thriving cross-platform community of creatives. As it grows, the mission is to expand beyond AR into immersive design, scripting education, and even playful merchandise, making kiara not just a tool, but a creative tech companion.

Convert Your Assets

I'm working on my knowledge base to become a source for all things development when it comes to AR - no matter the platform. In the meantime, I can be used to convert images from one template to another!

For example, if you created a Face Mask using TikTok's Effect House template, I can transform it to fit Snap's Lens Studio Face Mask guide. Try it out!
